Oh on your sensor issue.
The manual I have actually lists 3
1. Oil pressure switch.
2. Transducer oil pressure.
3. Transmitter oil temp.
May not be your engine though.
So now it gets a bit electrickerty not knowing the rest of your electronic side I can’t comment. But would say leave them in for now, you may need them.

I think you can make that work:)

You may want to do some work on the receiver as it looks a bit flimsy:(

Sorry I always seem to bring you a problem:rolleyes:.

They do look a little undernourished... I'll pop a length of angle behind them to give support. :)
Don't worry, _all_ constructive comments are welcome.

To be honest I've not had time to look in the Hayne's... :oops: But that sounds about right.
On the Milner there's an electrically connected sensor ( temp or pressure ) and one with a very fine copper pipe - I'll bet the pipe is a 'mechanical' pressure.
 
Not much time spare today so only got to take the OS door to pieces. I did have to resort to grinding off a couple of old bolts, by the handles do look like a fairly simple fit. Only need to lop off the lock barrel and a small bit of the casement. :)

New handles have 6 securing bolts rather than the previous 4, so will need to make up a template.
 
Hummmm...... Body on stands, wheels off.
But there's not enough clearance to get the top shock bolts out.
Needing to a bit of body modification:

Success! Both shocks out and the brake lines not at full extension. :D

Comparison of new springs from Tomcat Motorsports and the old ones from wherever:

Springs and retainers to go in, then the long shocks...
 
@marjon They're 5 spoke 16x7 Challengers:

And I'm getting the original tyres moved from the 16x8 P38 alloys.

I've picked up a spare wheel and tyre from Beartown Tyres (£125 for rim + 205/16 tyre + fitting ) :

Apparently they now own the moulds for my 20 year old "Venezuela - Black Stars", now called King Pin - Diamond Mud.
 
They seem to be holding up ok.
But I have no history so don’t know their age

But then as they don’t use salt over here, we don’t get that corrosive film on everything.

Just plenty of mud:)

Question #1
Whilst un-seizing one of the brake calipers I noticed that the locator screw ( the m8 that holds the disc to the hub ) was missing, infact upon checking, _none_ of the discs had them. :-(


Are they important??
 
Only had it once where the wheel nuts came loose. :oops: On Ali wheels & 10 miles of Salisbury/tidworth to a lap.(8laps to be done) Only the passenger side will be affected so you still have 1/2 your brakes. ;)
 
<bangs head on wall>

Like a fool I ordered Disco 2 shocks front and rear to go on the Disco 2 axles.... fitted the rear springs and shocks just fine.
Then found out today that the front shocks fitted are Defender specification, with a single nut top and bottom to hold them in place. Whoopsie!
How long is it before I can start listing parts for sale?

Check, check and then check again!!

Still, I did get to strip the passenger door handle and latch...
